Fort Eben-Emael is an inactive Belgian fortress located between Liège and Maastricht, on the Belgian-Dutch border, outside the village of Ében-Émael. It was designed to defend Belgium from a German attack across the narrow belt of Dutch territory in the region. Constructed in 1931–1935, it was reputed to be impregnable and at the time, the largest in the world. The fort was neutralized by glider-borne German troops (85 men) on 10 May 1940 during the WW2. The action cleared the way for German ground forces to enter Belgium, unhindered by fire from Eben-Emael. Still the property of the Belgian Army, the fort has been preserved.

Vue en surplomb depuis la forêt du plateau de Roue. Ce fort médiéval du XIIème siècle, est communément appelé "Château Queyras". Sous l'Ancien Régime, il était rattaché à la province du Dauphiné et appartenait au dauphin du roi de France. Caractérisé par une enceinte quadrangulaire, il domine la vallée du Guil depuis le sommet de la butte de château-Queyras d'une hauteur de 1400 mètres. Il est inscrit, avec le piton rocheux sur lequel il s'élève, aux monuments et sites naturels des Hautes-Alpes depuis 1937 et son enceinte, au Monuments Historiques depuis 1948. Il fait partie du réseau "Sentinelles des Alpes" crée par l'association" Grande Traversée des Alpes" qui regroupe les fortifications les plus remarquables, notamment les citadelles de Mont-Dauphin et de Briançon. Petite anecdote : il a servi de décor au film "Le Bossu" d'après le roman de Paul Féval, tourné par Philippe de Broca en 1997.
Loch Linnhe is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland. The part upstream of Corran is known in Gaelic as An Linne Dhubh (the black pool, originally known as Loch Abar), and downstream as An Linne Sheileach (the salty pool). The name Linnhe is derived from the Gaelic word linne, meaning 'pool.
Loch Linnhe follows the line of the Great Glen Fault, and is the only sea loch along the fault. About 50 kilometres (30 miles) long, it opens onto the Firth of Lorne at its southwestern end. The part of the loch upstream of Corran is 15 km (9 mi) long and an average of about 2 km (1 mi) wide. The southern part of the loch is wider, and its branch southeast of the island of Lismore is known as the Lynn of Lorne. Loch Eil feeds into Loch Linnhe at the latter's northernmost point, while from the east Loch Leven feeds in the loch just downstream of Corran and Loch Creran feeds into the Lynn of Lorne. The town of Fort William lies at the northeast end of the loch, at the mouth of the River Lochy.

The castle was built in the 14th century by the Lord of Matignon, Etienne III Gouÿon. The construction of the castle began in the 1340s, its keep dates from the years 1365–1370.
In 1379, following the return from exile of the Duke of Brittany Jean IV, the castle was besieged by Bertrand Du Guesclin. The castle was attacked and taken a second time during the Wars of Religion in the sixteenth century, this defeat marking a time of abandonment of the building. It was not until the 18th century, under Louis XIV, that the castle resumed its strategic interest and was bastioned.

Fort Amherst is located on the southern side of The Narrow (the entrance to St. John's Harbour). The first lighthouse in this location was built in 1810 and replaced a number of times throughout the years. This little one was build in 1951. Also seen are the remains of gun emplacements and pillboxes built during World War II to defend against U-boats and any uncooperative ships. For those brave enough, apparently you can jump the fence and go down there to explore. Maybe, one of these day days, I'll work up the nerve! ;-)
